Hospital robots win health award

_48571078_exterior_landscape1_lg-1

 

In central Scotland there is a hospital that has robots which do the laundry and cleaning. It is the first hospital in the UK that uses robots. Thanks to these robots the staff has less work to do. The robots use a network of corridors which is separate from those used by staff, patients and visitors. Now this hospital has won “estate management category in the Building Better Healthcare awards”.

 

I think it is good if we use modern technologies, especially if they do the cleaning. ;)

However, I also think that we need to consider if it really makes sense when we let robots clean buildings like hospitals because it will cost cleaning staff their jobs.

I'd really like to know what you think about this. :)
